Designing culturally sensitive genAI with and for African American/Black older adults
Designing culturally sensitive genAI with and for African American/Black older adults
NIH and NSF support this project and involves a community academic network to raise awareness about brain health and Alzheimer’s among Black adults 45+.
More info is at https://care.iu.edu/index.html.
The goal is to develop a technology solution to enhance health literacy and increase research participation among African Americans.
We found that technologies must be culturally relevant and leverage existing networks. For more, see our publication.

Designing Abortion Care Technology with for Women
Designing Abortion Care Technology with for Women
This research explores how digital technologies are used to seek abortion, both in self-managed and clinical settings.
The project aims to improve abortion care through digital tools, broadening the view of abortion from merely terminating pregnancy to a more holistic reproductive approach.
In a design workshop with 16 participants:9 from restrictive access contexts and 7 from accessible one, the views on digital technology's role differed: some saw it as part of a care network, while others saw it as a tool outside legal boundaries.

Project 3
Exploring the use of Digital Technology for Birth Control
Exploring the use of Digital Technology for Birth Control
This project builds on the previous one by exploring how digital technologies are used in reproductive care, focusing mainly on contraception and birth control.
The main goal is to uncover how people use digital tools for contraception and how adverse effects influence trust, accuracy, and effectiveness.
Results show that perceptions of digital contraception vary widely based on social, religious, educational backgrounds, and individual goals related to the technology.
